Penn State's Frazier granted NCAA Medical Hardship Waiver

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Penn State senior guard Tim Frazier has
been granted a Medical Hardship Waiver by the NCAA making him eligible to
return to the Nittany Lions' lineup for the 2013-14 season.

Frazier was the Big Ten Conference's second leading scorer in 2011-12 with
18.8 ppg before he suffered a season-ending ACL tear in his left leg in PSU's
fourth game of the 2012-13 campaign. He was leading the Nittany Lions with
21.7 points and 5.0 assists per contest coming into the Akron game in which he
was injured.

"Tim has shown tremendous will, perseverance and leadership as he continues
his rehabilitation from a very tough injury," Penn State coach Patrick
Chambers said. "He is doing very well. We are thrilled for him that he will
have the opportunity to finish his career strong and again place himself among
the top players in the nation."

Frazier will enter the 2013-14 season just 142 assists shy of breaking Penn
State's all-time career record. In his junior season, the Big Ten All-
Defensive team selection was second in the conference with 17 20-point games
and averaged 19.6 ppg in conference play, while becoming the first Lion ever
to post at least 500 points, 150 assists and 50 steals in a season.

Penn State will return four of its top five scorers and rebounders next season
from the 2012-13 team that finished with a 10-21 record, including a late
February upset of eventual NCAA finalist Michigan.
